Testimonials
What some of my old peers say
I worked very close with Sam in one of the biggest websites redesign project for IGA Coca Cola Institute. There were 6 multilingual websites that needed to be redesign - English, Spanish, Chinese - Mandarin , Portuguese and Russian. During the project he not only showed a lot of technical and web design knowledge but his ability to work in a group. He is very open to new ideas in design as well as technical. Working with him was very easy and his ability to learn and listen to constructive criticism was excellent. I will definitely work with him again.
